Trump, pro-life leaders at
odds in recent developments
NASHVILLE (BP) — The Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission released a letter Jan. 16 calling for President Trump’s action on recent issues that have brought friction between the pro-life movement and an administration historically supportive of it. Trump’s terms in the White House have been consequential for the pro-life movement, to say the least. Shortly after taking office last year, he enforced the Hyde Amendment, which prevents federal funding of abortions. He reinstated and expanded the Mexico City Policy. Perhaps most of all, the appointment of three pro-life Supreme Court justices in his first term led to the overturning of Roe v Wade. Last week, however, the president said conservative Republicans need to be “flexible” regarding Hyde during across-the-aisle negotiations over health care. Hyde has factored in debates on Affordable Care Act subsidies that expired last year. Conservatives, of course, didn’t like the idea, which led the White House to walk back the president’s comments. The Food & Drug Administration (FDA) approved another generic abortion drug last fall. Chemical abortions account for 63 percent of all abortions, per a 2023 study by the Guttmacher Institute. This week, it was revealed that the Department of Health and Human Services quietly released tens of millions of dollars to Planned Parenthood through Title X that had been withheld since last spring as part of a move by lawmakers to defund abortion providers for at least one year. Trump told reporters he was unaware of those disbursements. Hollingsworth described the Hyde Amendment as “not up for debate.”
